			Hello
		
00:00:03 --> 00:00:48
			all Rasulullah sallallahu Rahmani Raheem musoma Humala, Satan Mattawan, early use of your self image
remain a Santa Monica Warahmatullahi Wabarakatuh it's all my hope to share with you a little bit
about the concept of worship at home. At this time, where we are all under quarantine and shelter at
home for the COVID-19 situation, the question of how to worship Allah subhanaw taala in the best
manner at home is really one that requires some attention, mostly because we are trying to sort out
how to do so with so many other responsibilities, and all members of the family at home at the same
time. For others, the concern is that they their worship had always been attached to the masjid,
		
00:00:48 --> 00:01:31
			which of course, the masajid are now closed, for the time being may allow that to open them again
very soon. And for others still, it's actually related to the fact that Ramadan is around the corner
and we're dealing with Ramadan, potentially at home, fully and wanting to figure out how to best
worship at home. So I'll start by saying that I'm going to talk about the concept of Halawa or
spiritual seclusion that is applicable to both men and women. And I will go further into the topic
of attic F. But for women because attic F or spiritual seclusion at home is allowed for women but
not for men. But what is relevant to both men and women is the concept of kind of our spiritual
		
00:01:31 --> 00:02:09
			seclusion. Before I begin that, I'd like to first remind us that the Prophet sallallahu alayhi wa
sallam was said about him that he was always he had the Mattia he that he was always in the care and
concern and taking care of and serving his family members. And a reminder that anything we do with
the right intention is considered to be a worship of towards the last panel to honor even if it
means serving our family members. So all I just want to remind us that when we say worship, it's not
just prayer and fasting, and DUA and pick it up put on, but rather, it's really any type of service
that we're doing. And that we in which we intend serving Allah subhanaw taala. So hopefully a silver
		
00:02:09 --> 00:02:48
			lining to everybody who is at home kind of taking care of family members and cooking and cleaning
and prepping and planning, and trying to juggle work and school and shopping online for the
materials that are needed at home. All of this inshallah is considered to be worshipped at home as
well. Now, mighty spiritual teachers often remind us that when a person wants to grow, they really
need to take time away and be in a spiritual seclusion that focuses them on a loss of penalty to
Allah and their existence here on Earth. They remind us, for example, that the people who want it
the people of the cave and students of caf that went to
		
00:02:49 --> 00:03:32
			the cave, they are, they were secluded from everybody else around them. And this is in an era of
what will be for the prophets. Nobody was selling them. And even he before his new Booyah, and
during it, he went to lot head off, right. And so we are familiar with these concepts of going to
seclude yourself from everybody around you in order to really reflect and to grow. Our spiritual
spiritual teachers also remind us that this concept of attic F or seclusion, other words for it,
like we mentioned, the word Halawa, some people might call it, Rosa, these concepts are a necessity.
My teacher often says, how the Muslim who the person, the individual in the modern era is very much
		
00:03:32 --> 00:03:57
			someone who is has a lot of pressures on them lots of stresses, lots of responsibilities. And the
only way to be spiritually sane, if you will, to be connected to Allah subhanaw taala in a
consistent manner, is to make sure that you take time away, to be connected just with Allah subhanaw
taala alone, basically take away anything that
		
00:03:58 --> 00:04:41
			puts you all your friends and fans and people who look up to you and people who give you direction,
and people who give you an artificial sense of who you are, and inflate your ego. Right? And all the
exhausting work of the dunya and of the dean, right, that exhaustion and of itself actually wears
down the very fabric of our iman. And so what the scholars that oh Leah that people connected to
last fall to Allah and the prophets all will did is that they would do this action called Hunua, or
spiritual seclusion. And it's really important that we use this time to reflect to connect back with
the last panel data. And I want to remind us also, that the Prophet sunnah SallAllahu wasallam, is
		
00:04:41 --> 00:05:00
			that he would do X decaf, consistently, not just in normal blood, I realized Ramadan is coming. But
for many of the men, for example, they're very concerned about not being able to do attic f the way
they had done for many, many years in the masjid. And while I very much empathize with that concept,
I do
		
00:05:00 --> 00:05:36
			Want to remind us that you can still do Hunnewell it won't be an attic app, but it will be a
Honeywell. Right? So basically consider it like an attic F but at home without the intention of
attic F for the men because they will be doing the spiritual seclusion, whereas women can actually
intend an actual attic F which we'll get to a little bit later in this talk. But this concept of HUD
Well, my teachers would say, it is like the safety valve that's on a pressure cooker, that we have
so many stresses all throughout our life, and so many responsibilities and so much pulling us in
every single direction day in and day out that we're like a pressure cooker, it just builds and
		
00:05:36 --> 00:06:11
			builds and builds that stress and that pressure inside. And if you do not have that safety valve
that allows the steam to exit and escape, it will explode and thereby we spiritually will as well.
And for that reason, they remind us that the Hello Antarctica is something that the Prophet
sallallaahu Selim did, and one of his strongest sunders so strong that it is said that he did not
actually have a year that passed in his time after Nugu in which he did not actually do attic fn.
And it wasn't just in Ramadan, that is a yearly attic F but you sunnah was also due to the to do
attic F
		
00:06:12 --> 00:06:53
			between relative inertia, for example, or sometimes between fidget and Doha, and other times in to
hedge your time during the piano lane. And so to remind us that these are all possibilities that we
can do on a weekly basis, and potentially nowadays, even on a daily basis, considering that we are
at home, and have the ability to take a need, not just the ability but have the need to take time
away to really regroup ourselves. So whichever what I'm going to go through is the steps in which we
do so. So the first thing I wanted to cover now it's related to specifically the woman that I'm
speaking to right now on how to do attic calf at home as a woman. Now while I'm covering those rules
		
00:06:53 --> 00:07:30
			for women, the men who are listening to Inshallah, that they are benefiting also from the same
concept for the concept of Halawa, right of being able to spiritually seclude without intending
attic absence, they do require a masjid to do so. But according to the Hanafi school, women are able
to do attic F at home. And it's actually quite a simple process. So let me try to break this down
and make it as simple as possible in sha Allah. First, I will cover the prerequisite steps, then
I'll cover the actual steps of attic F for a woman at home. Then I'll cover the things that break
out together and the things that don't. And from there, we'll talk about what you do inside of your
		
00:07:30 --> 00:07:36
			attic. If so, prerequisites number one, before you begin to do attic calf at home,
		
00:07:37 --> 00:08:18
			to be in a state of major ritual purity. This is a question that comes up with a woman with quite a
bit can I do attic calf while I'm on my period? The answer is no. You require a major ritual purity,
the way you require in order to pray or read or put on and so that major ritual purity is required.
However, even when you're on your period, you're able to do Hunua right able to just sort of seclude
and remember Allah subhanaw taala but to intend to add to calf requires the Hatha and the Federative
which is the major ritual purity. And, and the Sunnah of which is to also be in a state of will do.
Now you don't have to be in will do all the entire time your Anantha gaff, but it is recommended to
		
00:08:18 --> 00:08:58
			be so before you begin, so that you're able to engage in prayers and and put on reading and such
number two in the prerequisites is to choose a space in your home. And what I mean by that is it has
to be one fixed consistent place. So it can't jump from place to place or room to room, you would
have to choose one room in your home or a portion of a room. And they say the minimum amount that
you need is only as big as a prayer rug, and inshallah at the end of this video, if you stick with
us, I'll be able to show you the a demo of how to actually do this and demonstrate the the rules
here of attic F and how it's performed. But you would choose a portion of a room or a one room one
		
00:08:58 --> 00:09:36
			room. And if it's an entire room, then you would have the whole room from the door inward the entire
room counts or a portion of your room for example, where you typically pray. So if you typically
pray in your bedroom, maybe you put your prayer rug next to your bed. So that area would be your
after gift space and it can be only as small as the prayer of rug area or bigger as in a portion of
the room. Number three, take everything you need with you before you start your attic app and the
prerequisites number three is to take everything with you before you start your attic Catherine by
that I mean take your water, take your snacks, take your Vicki beads, take your books, take your
		
00:09:36 --> 00:09:59
			massage, take everything that you might need so that you don't need to exit out and thereby break
the attic. If so, if you have your Mahato and you've chosen the place where you're going to have
your fixed place where you'll have your attic and you took all your essentials with you then the
actual steps of attic calf at home for a woman are very simple. It's just two steps. That's it.
Number one is the intention
		
00:10:00 --> 00:10:46
			But the intention also is very simple because you just merely say and you don't have to say it out
loud, that is sunnah. But in the heart is sufficient. And you merely say, no way to erotica, which
translates into I intend RT calf, spiritual seclusion. And then then you say what have MSG, and this
is my mustard, no way to add a calf will have MSG. So what it means is, I intend add to calf, and
the place that you're about to enter into becomes your mustard, it transforms into your mustard for
the time that you're in it. So and that's it, they're just two steps, making the intention and
number two is stepping into that space. And now your place is transformed into your masjid. And it
		
00:10:46 --> 00:11:30
			is now your space to do out to Katherine. Now, the nice thing is, you can stay as long or as short
as you want, according to this Hanafi opinion, for attic F, which is excellent. So we've had a few
scholars would say that even a moment would count for the attic F at home for a woman and or you can
stay hours if you wish. The reason I say that is because it makes it very flexible and very easy.
It's in your own home, there is very few requirements to enter in and do attic F. And there are so
many things that you can do within this warship attic F space, which we're going to talk about
shortly. Now, I do have to say before we get there, what are the things that break or normal five
		
00:11:30 --> 00:12:11
			attic F also very few things, but it's essentially leaving that space without excuse. So as long as
you're in that space, you're inadequate, but if you step out of it, now the attic F is broken. And
you would have to re intend attic F if you wanted to enter back in and resume your attic if later.
Also, any sorts of marital relations would also break the Arctic calf. Now when I say without
excuse, if you know stepping out of the calf without excuse an example of an excuse to be like
needing to use the restroom. So you go quickly to use the restroom. And maybe you renew your will do
and you come right back in. If it's an excuse like that, since you don't have a bathroom in your
		
00:12:11 --> 00:12:38
			attic. If of course, then it's an excuse. So therefore you're able to come right back in as long as
you don't interrupt and get distracted with anything else. So if you go straight to the bathroom,
make will do come back right in, then you don't need to re intend to cap however, if you didn't need
to attend to something else, you got distracted with something else than simply when you're ready to
resume your attic. If you stand at that area before you enter again, and you redo your intention and
come back in.
		
00:12:40 --> 00:13:17
			Now, what does not nullify or break the attic F is often a question that's asked. And it's important
to understand that other people don't coming into your space don't break the attic out for you. So
people worry because they're in their homes, and say they chose their bedroom or portion of their
bedroom. And their kids wandered in or their spouse wandered in or they're, you know, somebody came
in? And there's always the question of is my attic F not broken? Because these other people came in?
And the answer is no, it is your attic F space. So for them, it's just an ordinary room. But for you
it has transformed into the masjid, right with your intention. So that's something to know as well.
		
00:13:17 --> 00:13:55
			A little bit of eating, a little bit of sleeping, a little bit of drinking, a little bit of worldly
talk and business. None of this will break your attic calf. So it's quite flexible as in to say,
this is why I said earlier, take your snacks and your water and so on with you. And also. And also
you're able to have like your phone with you and answer it very quickly. It's your parent and you
needed to apparently needed to answer the phone or work called and you need to answer No problem.
Because a little bit of as long as these items that are worldly things, eating, drinking, sleeping,
even taking a nap would be okay. And worldly business or talk all would be okay as long as they
		
00:13:55 --> 00:14:14
			don't overwhelm the amount of time that you're doing within this attic F or HUD was space. So this
is important to know, which makes it quite flexible to be in there and still do some of your work or
some of your studies or business and then also spend the majority of the time doing Dean related
worship.
		
00:14:15 --> 00:14:17
			Now that brings us to the question of
		
00:14:18 --> 00:14:22
			what types of worship can we do in a state of Attica?
		
00:14:23 --> 00:14:56
			Here, you find that it's very fast and very broad. So let me outline some of these steps of worship.
And one of the first and probably most obvious is prayer, prayer. Your foot is prayer. And I
actually recommend that women who are doing out together at home center their attic calf around
their five daily prayers. Now that I outlined the rules, you probably can understand why I say that.
Because if it's just in your home, and it's just on your prayer rug that you normally pray on, and
there's no minimum amount of time even a moment can count as out to calf.
		
00:14:57 --> 00:15:00
			Then it makes sense to say go ahead
		
00:15:00 --> 00:15:37
			and make out to calf every intended to get every single time you pray. Why not? In fact, being in a
state of attic F doubles and triples and quadruples your reward? So why not do so? Do you see what
I'm saying? You're going to your prayer rug anyway you're going to prayer prayers you're flooded
your as soon as you're an effing. That entire time could be counted as that to get for a woman.
Isn't that a wonderful and amazing Subhanallah it's something that you do already the worship of
prayer you already in sha Allah do already and here we are doubling and tripling your rewards. How
do we just study that religion more deeply to know about this poem and knowing that it's a confirmed
		
00:15:37 --> 00:16:00
			strong signal the prophets of Allah he was sending them so number one on the worship list is your
prayer your flooded your sunnah as you're an effing all of which would count as part of your attic
calf number to put it on. And by put on, I mean with a reading of Quran or reading a recitation of
Quran I also mean the listening of Quran, the memorizing of put it on the teaching of Quran
		
00:16:01 --> 00:16:45
			the reading the translation to understand what it means reading the toughest theater listening to
them, all of this counts as part of what you can do for Quran in the state of add to calf. Number
three is any form of Islamic knowledge. Now this is very vast and very broad. So you have a
particular scholar that you like to listen to and benefit from to get make your intention for attic
F enter into your space and listen to that podcast YouTube video. So that you were planning on
learning from listening to anyway but now you have double and triple the reward because you're in a
state of air to get Masha Allah. Now, Islamic knowledge can be reading Islamic knowledge so taking
		
00:16:45 --> 00:17:29
			your books that you benefit from and read articles so on listening, it could also be teaching so if
any of you are teachers this would intend that to gap and then teach Mashallah. And also, you know,
anything that's considered to be beneficial knowledge of any sort, even if it has some dunya li
element to it, but make sure you balance it out with Dean as well all counts as Islamic knowledge
that can benefit you in a state of Attica. Number four on our list is Dora and we are so in need of
dua at this moment. So certainly I will elaborate more than to say you can just freestyle draw out
from your heart, masha Allah in the state of attic F, and certainly to read the panic and prophetic
		
00:17:29 --> 00:17:38
			Diaz as well. Number five, six and seven. And those are the ones I'll end on seven are the concepts
of
		
00:17:39 --> 00:17:44
			the foot good, to that good, and to the Buddha. So let me explain what each of these mean.
		
00:17:45 --> 00:17:46
			So that code
		
00:17:47 --> 00:18:23
			breaks down into the word wicked thicket is remembrance of Allah subhanaw taala and Vic it is
basically what we do when we say Subhan Allah hamdulillah Allah Allah, Allah Allah Allahu Akbar, La
hawla wala Quwata illa biLlah or Salawat Allahumma Salli, wa salam, ala Sayidina, Muhammad, all of
this is forms of wicked. So in a state of attic, Catherine, your HUD will also make sure that you're
doing that good as well. Number six, and seven are connected. And I'll say I'll talk about them
together and they are to duckboard into effect good. Now for me, I really consider this an
instrumental part of our Islam in our deen and people have a really hard time figuring out well, how
		
00:18:23 --> 00:19:02
			do you because they translate into to the Buddha is to ponder, and to FUCKLOAD is to contemplate.
And people say, Well, how do you exactly do that? Well, I just go into my prayer rug and then
contemplate and ponder and that counts is worship? And the answer is yes. Any psychologist
psychiatrists I mean, I know I'm in the field that that wants to give you you know, a practices to
help you and kind of bring you to your best total self will prescribe to you meditation. Well, we
have our own indigenous Islamic forms of this in the concept of the book and its effect good. But
there's ways in which the spiritual teachers have taught this. It's flexible. There's so many
		
00:19:02 --> 00:19:15
			different ways I'll teach you the one that I will go through the one that I have learned from
benefited from from my own teachers. And it's really, really beneficial because they in terms of
reflecting I'll talk about reflecting and pondering together.
		
00:19:16 --> 00:20:00
			My own teachers would say, there are four categories that we should really think about when we're on
our prayer rugs and doing this contemplative meditative exercises. Mashallah, and it does count as
part of our OSLA. Our hello to gaffes. Number one is we should always reflect and ponder upon Allah
Subhana Allah to Allah, and what they mean what they mean by that is to ponder upon how Allah
subhanaw taala is the Creator of all things, again, in this COVID-19 era that we're in this tiny
little microscopic virus came from Allah subhanaw taala and brought all of humanity across the globe
to their knees, and to reflect on the greatness of Allah subhanaw taala and how
		
00:20:00 --> 00:20:47
			We are so in need of Him. And something so tiny can make the world come to a stand still, right? And
everybody rushed around trying to figure out what exactly to do. So contemplate on this and know our
teacher say, No, in your very core in your inner bone marrow, where Allah subhanaw taala reminds us
that you can live long enough and it allows that Allah subhanaw taala will not burden a soul more
than it can bear. Which means for the believer that if he sent this tribulation to us, it means that
we can and we will bear it, even though some of us will get ill. And some of us will not recover
from that illness. May Allah insha Allah Tada greci fat for all who are ill, and protection for
		
00:20:47 --> 00:21:26
			everybody in sha Allah, and may He allow those of us who pass away, to have to forgive us and to
rest in sha Allah in the best and highest levels of Jannah. I mean, but to think about the greatness
of Allah subhanaw taala, to think about the blessings that we have. And I often remind myself and
others to think about the silver linings. There are so many people that had asked for more time with
their family, and suddenly they got a whole bunch of it, and others who said, I just need some a
break. And now they're taking a bit of a break. And others who have really the world has come into
more of a perspective for them, seeing all of this is coming around. And there are others still who
		
00:21:26 --> 00:21:58
			are dealing with really significant hardships, both financial, spiritual death. And when you think
about the whole spectrum of experiences that people are having right now, it really is worth
reflecting upon. And wherever you are blessed, whether it's with your health, or with your wealth
still, right, or with your connectedness to your family. These are blessings to think about and
ponder about. And this is what this time would be very helpful when and our teachers remind us that
		
00:22:00 --> 00:22:05
			when he will contemplate about last panel to Allah make sure that you think about the blessings and
all the forms that they come in.
		
00:22:07 --> 00:22:48
			And like the last pods on it says to us and reminds us that if we tried to count all the blessings,
we just simply couldn't. Number two on that list of four things for pondering and reflecting, is to
think about yourself. And what they mean by that is the self, the neffs, to think about our
weaknesses, our strength, are diseases of the heart, to think about what makes us in dire need of
Allah subhanaw dadas forgiveness, his care, his support, and his all loving mercy. And to think
about if the Prophet sallallahu alayhi wa sallam was here with us, and we were with him, What would
he think of us? And how would we be? And how would he react to what we're doing, what we're posting
		
00:22:48 --> 00:23:00
			what we're saying what we're talking about. These are all things that are very important to
contemplate on the weaknesses of the self. And our teachers remind us and say that if we figure out
what the problem or the diseases of our heart
		
00:23:01 --> 00:23:05
			is, or are, then we're about 80% of the way there.
		
00:23:07 --> 00:23:45
			Knowing they say is half the battle lar teacher say it's more like 80%, and then the work on the
rest of getting ourselves rectified. But sometimes you can't reach that conclusion until you've
taken the time to really reflect and worship and your worship of Allah subhanaw taala. And to
connect with him in that way. Number three in the list of four categories, is to reflect on people,
the people around you and your life, the ones you love, and the ones you detest, the ones who make
life really happy and joyful for you in the ones who make it difficult. And to think about their
shortcomings and their faults, just like you thought about your shortcomings and your faults as
		
00:23:45 --> 00:24:28
			well. And their inability to help or to harm you except by Allah's command. Because like the Hadith
of the prophets on the Lord, he was sending reminds us, he says that if all the nations and all the
people were together to help us with something they could not, except by the will of Allah. And if
all the people were together to harm us with something they could not, except by the will of Allah,
the pens have been lifted, and the ink has dried. And that hadith at the very beginning of it starts
by reminding us that if we seek help, or assistance to seek it from Allah subhanaw taala. So this is
the kind of place where to remember that even though sometimes and whoever this might be in our
		
00:24:28 --> 00:25:00
			interpersonal relationship, there's always somebody that's causing us grief, maybe it's a child,
maybe it's a parent, maybe it's a spouse, maybe it's a boss, there's always somebody that's causing
us grief, and when we allow them to become like a fiddle around in our minds, right? This article or
Halloween exercise that I'm talking about this pondering to factor into that could account at
exercise allows that pert those people or that person to shrink back to their actual size, right?
And you remember that over every frown is
		
00:25:00 --> 00:25:25
			So last panel and Donna, right, that is has the ability to take them down, or to prevent the harm
that they're causing. So this is a very helpful exercise and really does help a lot of people kind
of shrink the, the issues that they're having in their life back to real size. Number four, and that
list is to reflect and ponder upon our blessings. And to never our teachers remind us to never
compare ourselves to anyone else. And by that they mean
		
00:25:27 --> 00:26:06
			if you think about it, to remind yourself that you can only see what the outside the law had of a
person or a situation, but you don't know what the inner workings are, as in to say that if you all
you can really see is the here and now. So you don't know where person might be in 1020 30 years
from now. And you don't know where you might be 1020 30 years from now, maybe you are thinking
you're so great and mighty, but 2030 years from now you're in a really bad shape. And likewise, the
person who thought was so far and so, and 2030 years from now they're your teacher Subhan Allah, and
this is the way of the dunya. So to remind us that we really don't know.
		
00:26:08 --> 00:26:49
			We don't know the realities of things only almost content a truly knows the real, the realities of
everything. And so with that, to make sure that we are asking Allah subhanaw taala for the best of
endings, and asking Allah subhanaw taala for personal hidden, right, the best of endings, and that
were protected until that time, and so was all of our progeny until the end of time. And our
teachers remind us don't neglect thinking, don't neglect pondering and contemplating. Like it's very
easy to sit in attic calf or to worship at home and to pray and to read put on and maybe not super
easy, but is your pee that comes to mind more clearly to people praying and fasting and the end and
		
00:26:49 --> 00:27:35
			doing you know draw and doing because rather than contemplating and pondering, yet they request of
us to remember to do these things because it really brings everything back into focus and how the
Athleta is weathers reality. And what is here is what's fleeting and finite. And with that, they say
that if we were to do this, that we would definitely be protected from going astray. And it
cultivates a connection and love for Allah subhanaw taala that's unshakable. So when you meet some
people, they're so deeply connected and their Eman is so unshakable that no matter what happens to
them, storms come their way. Right? They are on the dean and you think how do you build that, that
		
00:27:35 --> 00:28:17
			is built by connection levels funnel to honor and this concept of worship of home and take worship
at home and taking time to spiritually seclude yourself, even for moments of the day allows you to
maintain that spiritual sanity in sha Allah to Allah. And this in my last final thoughts with this
before I show you the demo, and show of how to do the attic F Exactly. At home. I want to remind all
of us that this quarantine that we're in reminds me of a cocoon. It reminds me of the concept of
cocooning we're all kind of you know little bitty caterpillar is stuck on the leaf little tiny leaf
we can't see the whole world we're we're really stuck on our reality and our jobs and our family and
		
00:28:17 --> 00:28:58
			our finances in our Subhan Allah that tiny little caterpillar. And then it's like a lost power to
put us into the seclusion and the seclusion. With an all of our spiritual teachers are reminding us
to put us in a not just a seclusion in which we still do all the dunya we things but to actually do
a spiritual seclusion within that forced seclusion that we're in, like a cocoon and the cocoon.
After some time what emerges is a butterfly. And that butterfly is so much better off than the
caterpillar who was stuck on their little bitty leaf and couldn't see the whole world around them.
The butterfly is able to soar and see things in a way much much more different and is much more
		
00:28:58 --> 00:29:42
			majestic and beautiful and so on. And to think about how that could be us spiritually if we were to
do this worship at home, and to do our Roessler or Hello, our attic AF basically our spiritual
seclusion in connection with Allah subhanaw taala and I pray that that's what each and every one of
us are a butterfly at the end of all of this. Welcome to our demo for attic at home. And shallow
This is a hopefully a cute representation that helps us kind of visualize what an attic F at home
would be. This is an example of a house where our Muslim hudl Medea is sitting there in her prayer
corner but you see here that she is also here in her kitchen. You see her kitchen and you also see
		
00:29:42 --> 00:29:59
			her bedroom and you see her little community cafe garden in the background. And so this is an
example of kind of all put into one space of what it would be like for your home. And as we
mentioned, you would not be doing an anti Caf in the kitchen area. Nor would you be doing an anti
Catherine outside you would

			How to Pick an attic calf corner or place or room that is similar to a masjid space. So for her she
picks the area where she normally prays and set out her prayer rug.
		
00:30:16 --> 00:30:55
			So here is Marian she's ready to enter into her attic F space she has chosen the area of a core
portion of her room to be her attic F space, you can choose your entire bedroom if you wish. However
for her she chose a part of it, we want to be sure that you don't do have to get in your bed, you
would do have to get in a place that's similar to a masjid so usually you would pick the place you
normally pray. So for her she spoke, she picked a portion of her room a corner of her room right
here. And before she enters in, she stands right before that area. And she says her intention in a
way to an attic F will hurt i Miss Judy, I intend them to cough and this is my msgid Once she makes
		
00:30:55 --> 00:31:30
			that ad to get that intention, now she's simply enters into the attic ad space. And she's able to
now engage in all the forms of worship. We talked about everything from prayer to the kid to her
reading of her Islamic materials and her put on to doing to fetco into that good and all of this
inshallah the entire time she's in the space counts for her. And everything that she's doing in
attic F is doubled and tripled and quadrupled in a state of backtick F and certainly later in
Ramadan if she's fasting even more so 10 times as much and Ramadan or more depending on a las
Posadas
		
00:31:32 --> 00:31:44
			graciousness, and so you're able to really benefit and really exponentially grow your house and and
your good deeds by using this concept of an autograph at home.
		
00:31:45 --> 00:32:24
			So in conclusion, Inshallah, I hope that was a beneficial demonstration of how you do attic F at
home. And a reminder that any woman can use the rules of attic F at home, even if she is not a
Hanafy so the Maliki woman shop and women are able to also use the borrow the rule of attic F at
home from the Hanafi school and maintain their own prayer and rebalance ohada according to their own
method, and that is a real flexibility and blessing for all of us that has it in law. And so with
that inshallah I hope we emerge at the end of this COVID-19 situation and Ramadan and use our time
for Hunua and attic calf and eurosla and really emerge out of it from caterpillars to butterflies at
		
00:32:24 --> 00:32:46
			the end of this shallowing out of banana mean. And finally I asked you to keep us in your doulas and
myself and my daughters to me and help me put this demo together in sha Allah. And to please I ask
you to forgive me for any shortcomings and to remember me and your daughters and your attic at Santa
